>Ah, now you come out of the bushes ;-). >Sure you deserve 12, no problem for me. Really ok for you? Since there is >no way we make some earnings back with this work, its really a comunity >thing and we depend on contributions like yours. Yeah, it's fine. I figure it'll take me something like 20 hours to put it all together. I'd like a little something to help pay for the equipment (many kilo-$), if not make up for the time, which I am donating for the cause. ;-) The $50 is so is more of a make-me-feel-good measure than anything else. And it will help me justify spending $400 on the mastering software (Digi's Masterlist CD) that I really ought to use for this project. >Actually there is a chance that the compilation one day turns into a >product, and if its just for demo purposes.

I figure that if it ever gets sold, money should go to the performers either equally or in proportion to the length of their pieces. If it's done equally (which I'd guess most would prefer), I'd appreciate an equal share as compensation for putting it together on disk. If everyone thinks that's fair. I figure it will work this way. Send me DATs, plus $12 for each disk you want, with a SASE to send it all back to you when it's done. First 74 minutes of music to arrive here gets on (with a limit per track, let's say 8 minutes or so). People sending me tracks longer than the limit will be putting their fate in my skill as a listener and editor (which seem to be pretty good, but I'd rather not exercise them). If you want me to fade your DAT, that's no problem: just tell me the A-time for any fade-in and the A-time for any fade out. If you want to get precise, send me the times for the start and end of each fade (it's trivial for me to do sample-accurate fades and crossfades). If you want fancy editing, contact me directly (e.g., "take this 20 minute piece, and put together the first and last 4 minutes, with a 30 second crossfade between them, and please take out that click at 3:42, and can you bump up the EQ 4db at 8k?). I can do all those, but it will take me a little time, so let's arrange something privately. People sending me cassette should throw in another couple bucks for me to transfer to DAT and then disk. If they want eq and/or noise reduction and/or BBE enhancement, I can also do that: contact me beforehand if you do. Please label everything *clearly*, as I will have a whole pile of tapes to deal with. I'll make disks for the contributors, and for each of the CD-R cloners. The CD-R cloners will form a tree for getting disks to non-contributors. CD-R cloner volunteers please contact me directly. How does this all sound?
